We don't want to be the micromanagers or the managers because we'd rather focus on, on the creative aspect of work. That's to me the difference between like an entrepreneur or a creator and a manager. I don't know many people who aspire to just being a coordinator that tells other people what to do. That, you know, that's not very fun, especially not for those of us that do come from the creative. So you need clarity in that, and that's the instinct to start getting titles, but titles don't do a great job of generating clarity. They're rough instruments. So this is One of the things people misunderstand about Holacracy— when I first introduced it, I said it's a framework for organizing a company without a hierarchy of managers. Often people think that means there's no clarity, but it's actually the opposite. There's more clarity and more structure than a management hierarchy. In fact, that's how you obsolete managers. You get really clear on who does what, so you don't need somebody top-down micromanaging.
